SRM Theatre presents Behind Closed Doors
2026-04-15 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/Paris)
SRM Theatre returns to DDCL with Behind Closed Doors.

Apartments. One on top of the other. Spaces for people to live their lives, to shape their futures, to reshape their pasts. And who is here, in these spaces? Why are they here? And what stories do they have to tell?
Behind Closed Doors tells the stories of these residents in a humorous, thought provoking and sometimes poignant way. The show lasts about 1hr.

SRM Theatre brings original, witty and thought-provoking performances into community spaces. Created and performed by experienced theatre-makers with stories to tell and insights to share, our work is entertaining, moving and always relatable. We prove that creativity doesn't fade with age - it gets sharper.

Pay-as-you-will, suggested minimum £5; all welcome, no need to book, refreshments available.
